[solved] ssh went down after recent binary update

Question

well i just did a binary update and ran into some problems apparently not knowing what i was doing, see last couple posts here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1300263.  So now i am trying to reinstall some of my apps, but when i go to ssh into it i get connection activily refused.  so i go to the console, and run
# systemctl restart sshd
no output message.  then i ran systemctl stop sshd, start sshd, etc... no output messages.   then  i get
# ps aux | grep sshd
root 202 0.0 0.0 39736 2684 ? Ss 09:20 0:00 /usr/bin/sshd -D
then i run nmap on port 22 localhost and get port 22/tcp state closed, host is up.
Note, pasting my conf file will be impossible without ssh.  catch 22.  I didnt make any edits to that ssh conf file in more than 6 months, all has been fine until the binary update.  Should i be looking at that as the cause or is there something deeper going on here?
Edit;
# journalctl -u sshd
Starting OpenSSH Daemon
Started OpenSSH Daemon
Server listening on :: port 22.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22
doesnt look very secure but apart from that looks fine to me atleast.

yeah netcfg is regularly giving problems loading one of two connections

i probably have something misconfigured, network has always been an uphill battle.
